Planning a wedding
Do I have to be a resident to be legally married in Spain?
Not necessarily, if you're Roman Catholic and looking to get married in a Catholic church then this is permitted. If you aren't Catholic, hold another faith or no faith at all, then it's better to get legally married in your home country, in a registry office and then have a non-legal ceremony or blessing in Spain.
Civil wedding ceremonies may also be permitted, although this does change from region to region, so it's important to double check with the relevant authorities well in advance. To be eligible for resident status you must have lived in Spain for the last two years.
You can only have a religious ceremony if you are Roman Catholic and are going to be married in a Roman Catholic church.
Civil partnerships
Civil partnerships in Spain are fully legal and recognised around the world. You will need to register your marriage in the town hall or Justice of the peace, and then move on to your designated venue. There are lots of rules and regulations pertaining to civil marriages, and these can be quite different from region to region, so it's important to check this out well in advance of your dates with the local authorities, or speak to a wedding planner for advice.
What's the best time of the year to get married in Ibiza?
The best time to get married in Ibiza is between April and October when the light is good and the sun isn't necessarily as strong. Some parts of Spain get the sun 340 days a year, so you're almost guaranteed good weather.
The most popular months are June and September and so it's worth planning a couple of years ahead if you're considering getting married in either of these two months!
Unique experiences to incorporate
Spain is so vast, with lots of coastal resorts, islands and inland hills and mountains that the list is almost endless.
Being near the sea is incredibly popular, so perhaps consider a beach venue or hiring a yacht to take you and your guests off into the sunset.
Picture arriving by helicopter, or getting married in a cliff-top venue over looking the sea, or in a vineyard estate where you could sample some of the region's renowned wines.
